Its been about two years since I have played pokemon.  This is my first time to play in a tournament, so I'm pretty excited about it.  I created this deck out of scratch and went in to test it out for the first time.

Hopefully this deck will do good going to my first tournament in two years.  Here's how the tournament went:
 
Round 1 vs. Adam (Blazing Fire)
I thought that my deck was going to be no good.  I didn't think I would win.  When I played Adam he had out a Pidgeotto and I had out my Blaine's Arcanine.  I did Firestorm and won the game.  He ran out of Basic.
1-0
Round 2 vs. Eric (Haymaker)
This is a slaughterhouse match.  Eric beat the crap out of me.  I don't even want to talk about it.
1-1
Round 3 vs. Jason (Wigglymaker)
Jason went first.  He had a jigglypuff out and two more on his bench.  I had Blaine's Growlithe out.  He laid down a DEC on jiggly and did 20 damage to me.  On my turn I had pulled a blaines arcanine, so i attached to growlithe, laid down my 2 charmanders, and used stoke to finish.  Again the same was done by Jason.  I was all prepared for this turn because I had a Blaine trainer.  I used it and evolved into the Arcanine.  I did 40 to him.  On his turn he laid down 2 more basic and used oak for a brand new hand.  To finish he did 20.  With  2o left I used 40 again to knock him out.  The long lasting game continued for another 12 minutes until it finally started to heat up.  With my Blaine's Arcanine out I was killing victim after victim.  I had 2 prizes left and he had 3.  Then trouble started.  He had a wiggly all ready to destroy my candy A**!!!  Sadly, Jason had beaten me by 2 prizes.
1-2
 
Well, I knew that I wouldn't do so great.  I guess I'll have to improve my strategy come next Saturday.
